Exposome Transforms Mental-Health Prevention Across Lifespan
In a 2026 perspective in Neuropsychopharmacology, Barzilay and Jeste argue that mapping the exposome—the lifelong external and internal environmental exposures—can improve prevention and care for mental illness. The authors outline a multidimensional framework linking physical, chemical, social, and structural exposures to biological processes, highlight sensitive life stages, and recommend ExWAS, longitudinal multi-omic designs, and EHR integration to enable precision prevention and equitable mental-health strategies.
